Transform your phone or tablet into the ultimate rehearsal and stage companion. LyricsFlow Pro is the professional digital songbook and teleprompter/scroller designed specifically for singers, guitarists, bass players, keyboard players, bands, and worship leaders. Say goodbye to heavy 3-ring binders, and the anxiety of forgetting lyrics. Whether you are rehearsing in the garage or performing at a sold-out venue, LyricsFlow Pro puts your entire repertoire at your fingertips. Designed by musicians for musicians, this app combines powerful ChordPro rendering with a sleek, distraction-free interface that ensures you never miss a beat or a lyric. THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE TOOL: LyricsFlow Pro’s Auto-Scroll engine acts as your personal teleprompter. Variable Speed Control: Set the perfect scroll speed for each individual song. The app remembers your settings for every track. Touch-to-Pause: Tap pause, manually scroll up and down or use the nudge buttons. Stage Countdown: A visual countdown timer displays at the beginning and end of each song to give you time. PROFESSIONAL SONG MANAGEMENT Importing your library is seamless. LyricsFlow Pro supports the industry-standard ChordPro format, making it compatible with thousands of songs available online. Smart Import: Automatically extracts Title, Artist, Lyrics and Chords from directives in .cho, .crd, .chopro, .chordpro, and .txt files. ChordPro Support: Full support for standard directives like {title:}, {artist:}, and {subtitle:}. Visual Chords: The app identifies chords e.g. [Am7] and displays them in a custom colour of your choice, distinct from the lyrics. Perfect for guitarists, bassists and keyboard players who need harmonic cues at a glance. SONG SECTIONS: Use Quick Insert to add the sections such as Verse 1, Chorus, Bridge etc in bold and in the colour set in settings. GIG-READY SET LISTS: Set up set lists for all your gigs. The player will scroll and advance the songs automatically in the order you set. DRAG AND DROP: Easily re-order songs in seconds to adapt to the crowd's energy.

DARK MODE: Switch the apps user interface to dark mode to save eye strain. Lighting Optimisation: Select high-contrast "Dark Mode" themes for dark clubs to prevent screen glare, or high-visibility light themes for outdoor daytime festivals. Total Font Control: Adjust font sizes for each song. Make your lyrics massive for easy reading from a distance, or smaller to fit more lines on the screen. BACKUP & RESTORE (NEW!)
